Upgrade StorageTrouble incorporating ibid. into citation style
Hi,
I have some trouble getting ibid. to work properly. I couldn't find a style that matched my requirements, so I kind of came up with my own using the visual editor. To be honest I didn't know what I was doing half the time, but it does work as intended for the most part. There are two problems though, that I can't seem to solve on my own.
1. My University requires me to use ibid. I think I set it up correctly, but it doesn't work so there is probably something wrong. The first (full) citation and the subsequent one work fine. But after that goes right to Ebd. regardless of whether or not the page numbers of the citations actually match.
2. For inline citations, I can't seem to get 'et. al.' set up correctly (correctly as in: If there are more than 4 authors, I want it to just show the first 2 and then add 'et. al.' in place of the rest). I managed to get it to work for the bibliography and I think I repeated all of the same steps for inline citations, but It doesn't work so I probably missed something.
If you have any suggestions on how to fix this I would be very grateful!
Here is the style I am using: https://pastebin.com/BDkNq9zi

2. You don't have et-al-min and et-al-use-first on bibliography at all
1. So glad you spotted that. I fixed it and now it works like a charm.
2. I took another close look. Turns out I had defined a specific macro for authors in subsequent citations and forgotten about it. Filled in et-al-min and et-al-use-first for all author related marcos and now it works.
